If a new "nuclear option" rule is passed, forcing the House of Commons to consider addressing the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as Mr. and Mrs., Meghan and Harry have been warned they may lose their royal titles.According to reports, Bob Seely, a Conservative MP, wants to modify regulations that were first passed during World War I in order to deny German nobles their British titles. Reportedly, Seely clarified that the "nuclear option" is "in support of the monarchy" and seeks to honor the choice of individuals who choose not to be royals and, consequently, to be a member of the monarchy by taking away "their titles and privileges" associated with the organization.
"I'm not a republican and support the monarchy, but after the latest instalment of the couple's feud with the rest of the royal family, I believe that Parliament and the Privy Council should consider a nuclear option," the politician said in the Mail on Sunday.
"The Duke and Duchess can be Mr and Mrs like the rest of us," Seely stated. "My Titles Deprivation 1917 Act Amendment Bill would enable a vote in Parliament to recommend that a member of the royal family be deprived of their titles by the long-standing advising Privy Council.
"My aim is simple: if someone doesn't want to be royal, that is a decision we respect - but they should not keep the titles and privileges if they trash an institution that plays an important part in our nation's life."
Bob Seeley denounced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their "poisonously insidious" defamation of senior members of the royal family following the publication of Omid Scobie's explosive book, which served as Meghan Markle's "mouthpiece."
